Some Musings
So, I feel like crap again. In more ways than one. I'm tired. My sore throat is back. I still have some post-nasal drip. I'm sore. I'm freezing cold.
This morning I was able to get up early to get a short run in. This week is supposed to be easy and recovery, so I didn't sweat it that today was short. The temperature had dropped quite a bit overnight and the wind was still pretty bad. It wasn't quite as bad as it was yesterday, meaning that I didn't have to hold onto a telephone pole to prevent myself from getting knocked over. I felt tired, but it was the morning and my body has been through a lot the past few days. I considered tacking an extra loop on, but thought better of it, so I only did four easy miles today.
I got home and took one of my loopy pills so that I would not freak out at the dentist's today. The problem with these pills is that I can't drive if I take them, but at least the dentist had me nice and relaxed. The procedure took longer than I thought it would, but I handled it better than expected. I kept my eyes closed the entire time so that it is a complete mystery to me. Afterwards, he told me some of what he did so that I know how to care for it. I don't want to know too much since I have to get this done to at least two or three more teeth. There are oral bandages on both the inside and outside of the tooth that he grafted today. I have to go back to get the stitches out late next week. Eating isn't easy right now since I don't feel comfortable chewing on the right side of my mouth. I had thought that liquid would be easier, but they go all over my mouth instead of having something solid to keep on one side. I haven't really wanted to eat today, so it hasn't been too much of a problem.
My illness seems to be back some. I don't know if it is because of what the dentist did or not, so I'm planning on going to bed early. Ideally, I want to see Lost, but if I fall asleep before that, I'll have to wait for the rerun.
Otherwise, I discovered saw this article that makes me feel better. Another of the women who was ahead of me on Sunday has been interviewed for Fast-Women, so I was in good company. Now I have to figure out the rest of my spring. I'm not sure if I should focus on the roads or try to get into a certain track meet. I know what times I'm chasing, but it's a matter of where to go for it.
